Fly-tippers to pay up over dumped waste

FLY-TIPPERS who dumped waste at a North Wales beauty spot were busted after investigators checked what was in the bags. In November last year, six bags of waste were found dumped on land at Moel Famau.

After the bags were searched, personal items were discovered which linked the haul back to Barhan Fakraden and Paige Brittles. The pair, of Ruthin, initially claimed a business had been contracted to remove their rubbish.

But further investigations "cast doubt" on this claim, and the pair were prosecuted as part of an investigation led by Fly Tipping Action Wales, in conjunction with Natural Resources Wales (NRW).
